Corey Graves appears to be returning to a regular routine after a tumultuous few weeks in WWE. The commentator sparked attention last week with a tweet expressing frustration over his recent move to NXT. Graves claimed he was told he wasn’t “famous enough” for a spot on Raw or SmackDown, leading to his assignment on NXT.
According to Corey Brennan of Fightful Select, Graves is scheduled to be back on television at tonight’s WWE NXT and is expected to attend afternoon rehearsals at the WWE Performance Center.

Brennan noted that there has been no indication from Graves or his inner circle that this situation is part of a storyline.
Last week in a post on X/Twitter, Graves expressed disappointment in his role with WWE.
“Imagine chasing your dream. Then being TOLD (not deciding) that you’re no longer physically able to pursue your dream. Then you dedicate your life to something ‘dream adjacent’ and being pretty f**ing awesome at it. And then, when it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, being told you’re not famous enough for your own job. Just in case you’ve wondered where I’ve been.”
He was reportedly scheduled to be at last week’s WWE NXT broadcast, but did not appear.
